Q. Can I edit my buttons as a single unit
rather than individually?
Yes. You can access the Button Bar editor
in one of two ways. Either hover just outside
of one of the buttons on the bar you wish
to make changes to and click to edit the
buttons as a group, or click on the button
as you normally would to open the Graphic
Editor. There will be a button available
in the Graphic Editor to open the Button
Bar editor.
Q. Can I get a domain name for my 350pages
site?
Yes. For a small fee paid annually, you can
register a domain name through 350pages.
From your 350pages control panel, click on
the My Details button. You should see a list
of subscriptions that you can sign up for
on the left hand side of the screen. Find
the domain description and click the appropriate
Buy button, then follow the prompts to register
your domain.
Q. Can I use my own domain name with 350pages?
You can transfer your own domain in for us
to administer with your website. It costs
the same as registering your domain fresh
with 350pages. Please contact the customer
support team for more assistance with transfering
the domain to our service.
Q. How can I edit an object on my page?
Simply click on an object or hover your mouse
pointer over the object and click on the
Edit button in the Object Menu that appears.
Every type of object on the page has its
own editor. Click on the question mark in
the editing window for specific help on that
editor.
Q. How can I insert an object on my page?
There are 2 ways to insert a new object on
your page:
1. Hover over an object on the page to see
the Object Menu, then select ‘New’.
Select the type of object and whether you
want it positioned before or after or to
replace the item that you had initially selected.
Using this method will link the new object
to the existing one so that it will always
be in the selected position regardless of
any changes in the browser size.
2. Select the New Object icon on the Page Control
menu then select the type of object you require.
You can drag the object into any position
that you desire as it is in free format mode.
Q. How can I move my objects freely around
the page?
To be able to drag and drop an object on
your 350page, you need to set the object
to "Floating" status. Hover over
the item in the editor and click on the Object
Properties button from the menu (second button
along). Check the "Floating" box
and click Save. You can now hold down the
mouse button on this item to drag it to a
different area of the screen. You can also
resize the object by holding down the mouse
button on the purple button.
Q. How can I delete an object on my page?
To delete an object on your page, hover the
mouse pointer over the object you wish to
remove, and then click on the Delete button
from the Object Menu. A window will appear
asking you to confirm whether you wish to
delete the object or not. Please note that
the object cannot be restored once it has
been deleted. Any changes made to your page
will be reflected immediately.
Q. What’s that strange number alongside
the colors in the Graphics Editor?
This is for the more advanced users who wish
to select a very precise color. It is the
RGB reference number for that color. Advanced
users can enter an RGB or HEX number for
any particular color. Users can also enter
the name of the standard web colors, eg green,
scarlet, purple.
Q. What are the lettered squares inside the
color picker for?
These allow you to fully customize your colour
based on the RGB and HSV values. Simply clicking
the R,G,B,C,M or Y will add more red, green,
blue, cyan, magenta or yellow to your color.
The S, V or H will increase or decrease the
saturation, brightness, or hue in the color.
At any time you can undo each step or completely
reset the color back to the original.
Q. Why does the text on my graphic button
overflow off the end?
If your text is overflowing the edges of
a graphic, then you will need to increase
the maximum possible width of the graphic.
Click on the Effects tab in the graphic editor
and increase the maximum width size. If you
feel this makes your graphic too big, then
try reducing the size of the font instead.
Q. How do I make my webpage live?
You need to publish it. If you’re in
the Page Editor, simply click on the Done
button (the big tick mark) on the Page Control,
name your page, click on the Publish checkbox
and then click on Save. If you’re in
the File Manager, click on the Publish button
of the page to automatically publish it.
If for any reason you want to remove the
page from the web, click on the Publish button
to automatically unpublish it.
Q. How can I tell if my files are published?
In your File Manager, files that are published
will have a check in the box under the Pub
column of your filelist. Published files
will also have a link to them under the Type
column.
Q. Why did these objects disappear from my
page after I moved/renamed/deleted a file
in my File Manager?
Webpages are separate from the other objects
in your File Manager. When you create a webpage,
the webpage needs to know where the objects
used are so that it can display them. After
a webpage is created, if these objects are
moved or renamed or deleted, the webpage
won't be able to find them and so the
objects will disappear. To solve this, you
can either move or upload the file back to
its original state, or edit the webpage to
accomodate for the changed state of the object.
Q. Can I remove the adverts from my
page?
350pages free service is supported by advertisments,
but you can remove these by subscribing to
either one of our paid services. From
your 350pages control panel, click on the
My Details button. You should see a list
of subscriptions that you can sign up for
on the left hand side of the screen. Find
the description and click the appropriate
Buy button. Follow the prompts to submit
your card details.
Q. I purchased the paid service, but
I still have the adverts on my page!
To remove the adverts from your page once
you have purchased the service, go to your
File Manager and republish your pages. This
will remove the adverts from your published
website.
Q. How do I undo my changes?
You can end your current session without
saving by going to the Done button (the big
tick mark) on the Page Control, and then
clicking on the Abandon tab. This will ensure
that any work you’ve done in that session
will not be saved, and that the page will
be in the same state as it was before you
started work on that particular editing session.
Q. Can I tweak and alter my photos with 350pages?
The 350pages photo editor allows you to change
many aspects of the photos you have already
uploaded. Click on the photo to edit it within
your page or from the 350pages control panel
to open the photo editor.
Q. How do people find my site through the
Search Engines?
Go to the Page Properties option in the Page
Control to set all the information required
by the search engines, eg title, descriptions
and keywords. You can then submit your webpages
to the Search Engines. This will ensure that
your website is listed so that potential
visitors can find you.
Q. I don’t have the time - can you
create my site for me?
We have a professional web design service
called the Timesaver, where we will professionally
design and create your website in 350pages.
We then pass it to you so that you
can make future changes yourself. For more
information and a quote, click on the Professional
Web Design button within your 350pages Home
page.
Q. Can I add my own HTML?
Yes. In the text editor, click on the HTML
tab and insert the HTML into the box that
appears. We have a range of add-ons for your
site that you can use available from the
other Library pages. Simply click on the
Home button on this page to see that list.
Please remember that incorrect use of HTML
can cause unexpected and/or damaging effects
to a page, so it is best to make a copy of
your page from your File Manager before
you experiment with HTML.
Q. Where can I see the latest updates for
350pages?
There are two places. In the home page of
your 350pages control panel on the right
hand side of the screen, or at blog.350.com.
All the latest updates and news are published
to these locations.
Q. Where can I get more detailed help for…?
If your query isn’t answered here,
then you can get more help on a particular
topic by clicking on the question mark in
any editing window for specific assistance
on how to use that facility. Alternatively,
there are also Quick Guides and a Tutorial
available from the Information Library, which
can be accessed from your 350pages Home page.
